My wife is in a somewhat similar position, in that she has hit the wall as far as professional "progress" as she changed jobs due to moves because any position she qualifies for requires a degree. She has been working online with a college we both attended in Wisconsin and should finish up this year, thank goodness.
That being said, she started out as a COBOL programmer in 1979, worked through positions such as Manager of Financial Systems at Harley-Davidson, and is one of only 1800 or so Certified Professional Business Analysts in North America, yet she is considered "unqualified" by most employers solely on the reason that she does not have a college degree. To put it simply, that blows. Dan Sent from my iPad On Apr 9, 2013, at 12:26 PM, Randy Bennell <rbenn...@bennell.ca> wrote: > > My wife is a good example.
